Michel BARTHÉLEMY
(Belgia)
Professional background:
After studying Greco-Latin Classics, studied Plastic Arts at the Institut Terre-Neuve in Brussels and trained in Positive Aesthetics and then taught Plastic Arts in a secondary school arts section. Retired in 2003, he is now almost exclusively devoted to painting and has organized “Faerie Biennial” in Arlon.
Artistic approach:
His painting is to be situated in the current of Fantastic Realism, orientated towards Symbolism. Many paintings are "improvisations” : the idea is built up during the work process. The oil painting technic best serves the requirements of this style of expression.
